Tony Parker Would Be Perfect For The Kings

By | 0 Comments | Feb 17, 2019

To your concerns about a rumored Tony Parker trade:

1. Tony Parker is not old.

2. Tony Parker is really good.

3. Tony Parker is not that expensive.

4. Tony Parker fits a need.

The Kings need help spreading the ball and organizing the offense. Tony Parker has finished in the top 10 in the NBA in assist rate three times, and is No. 41 all-time in assist rate. There are few better distributors in the NBA, and their names are Nash, Rondo, Williams, Paul. They are unavailable.

There's some concern that he doesn't shoot the three very well. This is true. He rarely shoots three-pointers (less than one per game lately) and doesn't make them. It could be worse: it could take a ton of three-pointers and miss them. He knows what works for him and what doesn't. His effective field goal percentage is typically quite strong. He's among the most efficient guards in the league on two-pointers.

5. The Kings can still make moves around Tony Parker.

***

In conclusion: please please please happen.
